PENSACOLA, Fla. — A couple was charged Friday with trying to sell their 2-month-old baby for $30 in a store parking lot, authorities said.

Robert G. Ellingson, 23, approached two people in the PetSmart parking lot and offered them a beer. When they refused, he offered to sell his child, Escambia County Sheriff's officials said.

"At first they thought it was a joke," sheriff's spokesman Glenn Austin told the Pensacola News Journal. "But then the mother yelled to the group that they were trying to sell the baby. And one of them called us."

Ellingson and Maghen Duvala, 25, the baby's mother, were each charged with four counts of child neglect. They were being held in Escambia County jail — he for $27,000 and she for $15,000. It was not immediately known if they had legal representation. They were expected to make a first appearance Saturday.

The Department of Children & Families took custody of the baby, whose name was not released.

Authorities said the couple also tried to sell their baby in a bank parking lot a few blocks away an hour earlier. They are each charged separately for that incident by Pensacola police with one count of child neglect.

It's so sad when addiction means more than your own children. I will never understand it. My neighbors across the street are getting a divorce because her husband is a drunk and she suspects he likes to sniff the magic dust a little too often. It is so sad. He just got arrested for drunk driving last week. I feel so sorry for their kids. They are 3 and 7. They have been married for 16 years. It's just so sad to me.

I thought this was going to be a cute pic of Finn with a price sticker on his forehead or something.
Boy, was I ever wrong.
This is sickening. People like that shouldn't be allowed to have children. End of story.

I honestly thought the same thing... a picture of Finn with a price sticker.

I hope they never get their child back. The child is a prime age for adoption. Most of those children go in and out of the foster care system to finally be up for adoption at around age seven or older. At that point, it is very difficult to find good homes.
